Are you bright, proactive and enthusiastic? Would you consider yourself to have the maturity to be able to handle pretty much anything that walks in through the door with confidence - even if you don’t necessarily know the solution?

We’re looking for someone to join our front of house team, working full time, Tuesday to Saturday as maternity cover until at least May 2016 with the potential to stay on after that.

Working in our retail and service environment can be challenging but also hugely rewarding, especially when you add emotion and sentiment into the mix. We are looking for someone that can demonstrate empathy as well as having an ability to think on their feet and learn the technical elements to jewellery repairs and alterations really quickly. We’ll give you a lot of training and support but we need someone that has the confidence to start serving customers from day one (note: a warm smile, bundles of common sense and proactive approach will see you through most situations).
